London: Frank Cass and Co Limited, 1889. Frederick Stanley Arnot's stature as a missionary pioneer has not been dimmed by the passage of time. His interest in Africa was stimulated directly by Livingstone, and when he sets out from Scotland in 1881 to take the gospel to Africa, he was consciously seeking to emulate the work so nobly begun by his predecessor. He was the first missionary to settle within the modern confines of Zambia and Katanga, thus opening up the interior of Africa to Christian evangelism. By his activities in Britain and South Africa, as well as by his journeyings into the interior, he played a large part in determining the nature and direction of the Christian initiative in Central Africa. Arnott's published writings were compiled directly from diaries and letters, and consequently they contain graphic accounts of the life of a missionary pioneer during the opening up of Central Africa. They provide an unrivaled record of both the trivia and the drama of the daily… Read More

London: Frank Cass & Co Ltd, 1968. By the last half of the 18th century Liverpool had ousted London and Bristol from the profitable trade in slaves. This became the time when Liverpool merchants made fortunes and built fine houses and new public buildings. The ships became swifter and larger. The slave traders were shocked when their trade began to be branded as cruel, and plausible justifications were proclaimed in Parliament. But the agitation once started would not be silenced, and the author sympathetically describes the gradual triumph of the Abolitionists with the character studies of the leading figures from both sides of the controversy. Liverpool herself was to make many honourable contributions to the ranks of the reformers. Drawing upon contemporary records and letters, many of them hitherto unpublished, the author gives a graphic description of the ships overcrowded with human cargo, the mutinies of slaves and seamen, and the horrors of the notorious middle passage. Both the… Read More
